Warm silk brushes between my fingers, the delicate fibers passing gently against my own rough skin. The past few weeks of PT have caused my callouses to grow, the once pristine flesh now forming hard ridges and peeling against my knuckles. The bed creaks softly as I allow my hand to travel up the sheets, wrapping around the pillow and pulling it close. A soft groan sounds from behind me and a warm calloused hand slides across the comforter and onto my bare back. I feel the rough skin slide against mine until it wraps itself around my waist, a tingle of pleasure running down my spine and through my chest when his arm brushes across my waist and rests around my body.

"Hello, sleepy head." I giggle softly and turn my head over my shoulder as he buries his face in my back. I giggle more, wiggling out of his grasp until he lets out annoyed huffs of breath. I slide out of bed and grab my clothes off the ground, slipping my underclothes on first. Jax's hair is a mess, and he flops over on his stomach and lays where I was moments ago. I take a moment to enjoy the look of his muscled back, watching them shift as he moves. I let him settle down and get comfortable before grabbing a pillow from the floor and whacking him over the head with it.

"Hey! Stop that stop Leah n-" He yells at me while throwing his hands in front of him to deflect my attacks, and I find myself shaking with laughter while whacking away. He ducks his head while I crawl onto the bed and continue my assault, wading closer on my knees while swinging the pillow at his head. Jax wraps an arm around my legs when he finds an opening, dragging me over until he flips me on my back. I let out a loud laugh, enjoying the sound of him laughing while pinning my arms down and laying on top of me. Our bodies shake with laughter and deep breaths and I thrash playfully. He laughs and lets his entire body weight fall onto me, and I wheeze out the air in my lungs. He chuckles evilly and finally puts his weight on his elbows, now framing my face to keep from crushing me. I can't get the goofy smile off my face and I savor the joy in his golden eyes. He smiles down at me, his eyes swimming with emotions that I feel myself falling into. Jax catches me staring, and he lets his smile fade into a delicious smirk of pure happiness. His eyes drop to my lips and he leans in, allowing the sliver of space between us to fade. He hesitates for just a moment before softly brushing his lips onto mine, our lips touching for a brief moment. He returns his head to center, smiling down at my lips before coming down stronger than before. He kisses me, encasing my lips with his. The kiss is deep, and I drown in it. I slip my hands into his hair, pulling gently on his hair and smiling onto his lips.

When he leans back again for air, his eyes are clouded with so many emotions that I can't read them all in time before he closes them and sets his jaw. He brings himself to sitting position, running a hand down his face and into his hair. Finally, he lets out his breath and rests his arms. "I have to go." His voice is husky, still full of sleep.

"I know. Go, I'll be here when you get back."

He looks at me, then nods and gets out of bed. He slips on his own clothes, strapping himself into his agent gear. I lounge in the bed, watching him dress and put on his holster. He slips his gun into the case after checking it. I let a lazy smile stretch across my face as he slips on his jacket and ties his combat boots, thinking about the time we had before our nap.

When he stands again, he crosses to me and plants a short kiss on my head before leaning his forehead on mine. "I'll see you later."

"Okay." I pull his chin down and kiss him one more time. Jax stands again and walks out the door, leaving me alone in his room. I let myself fall into slumber once more, the sweet embrace of dreams filling my mind.

They say that dreams are the truest form of wants and desires, core memories replayed on a screen inside our very consciousness. Perhaps that is why this dream comes to me almost every day, filling me up with warmth and security only to tear it away with the earth shattering realization that everything has changed. Everything I had then was burned to the ground, ripped out from underneath my feet.

Oh how I hope it's not happening again.
